Suspected sockpuppets

Back in April, We Love You was blocked indefinitely for abusively editing while logged out from this IP, and the IP was blocked for a day-and-a-half. MbahBotak got caught up in that block (diff). They also share an interest in Persib Bandung, the only article We Love You edited before being blocked. More recently, MbahBotak and another IP in the same range as the one blocked in April, both removed the AfD tag from Egy Maulana Vikri using similar all cap edit summaries (compare diff and diff). The IP also modified Persibandoeng's comment on that AfD page diff, and removed a declined unblock request from Persibandoeng's talk page (diff). All three have commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egy Maulana Vikri, meaning that if they are the same person this is !vote stacking.

The CU request obviously doesn't apply to the IP. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:14, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding Imnotyou11 to the investigation, as this account appears to have been registered for the express purpose of !voting in the AfD in question. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:20, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm placing this case on hold pending starting a discussion on functionaries-en. Courcelles (talk) 18:50, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Courcelles: It's been well over two months. I'm afraid I don't remember any discussion at functionaries-en (I was on break at the time and may not have paid attention). Is it still necessary for this SPI to remain on hold?--Bbb23 (talk) 19:30, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
